Health alternative debated in Congress over costs and care
Republicans on the committee prepared a substitute plan. They criticized the Williams bill as complex and questioned certain provisions. The proposal mirrors employer health insurance funding like the president but adds subsidies for small businesses and extends hearing aid and mammography coverage. Cost estimates place it 15 to 30 billion dollars higher over five years. Williams claims enough votes to pass without Republican support.
